The gap in price between east side and west side will continue to close. Is it already closing? I agree that when the market falls the gap will probably close but I wasn't aware the price drops were already starting in those two areas.

"Geyser" The difference is that my local realestate holdings were purchased a very long time ago at much lower prices. Young couples today do not have that option.
